ATTIC FAN, SOLAR VS ROOFTOP POWER

[Lucy Balyan]

Hi, I need to put an attic fan in my home since A/C working too hard to cool the house. House is 1920 built but 2016 rehabbed; Never had insulation or attic fan. WHICH IS BETTER?

I know solar fan is expensive but maybe worth it in the long run and I don't have to replace it in case electric powered fans become banned (it is in GA). 

Solar fan:

PRO: doesn't run on electricity, no rodents, no moisture, fresh air 

CON: expensive $599 (covers up to 1200 sq ft) to $899 (covers up to 1600 sq ft) installed

Rooftop fan:

PRO: cheaper

CON: requires power and thermostat setting/can increase utility bills
